Re: 40 Man
Fermin should get a look but I don’t think they’re gonna move anyone at the deadline that would give him a lane for playing time.
The other 5, yea, all gone.

Fermin seems like a useful Utility player, but seems redundant with Sagasse (sp?) aroundAn Old Friend wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 07:42 amFermin should get a look but I don’t think they’re gonna move anyone at the deadline that would give him a lane for playing time.

Fermin is a better baseball player today than Saggese is, though.moose-and-squirrel wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 07:54 amFermin seems like a useful Utility player, but seems redundant with Sagasse (sp?) aroundAn Old Friend wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 07:42 amFermin should get a look but I don’t think they’re gonna move anyone at the deadline that would give him a lane for playing time.

Re: 40 Man
Maybe so, but the Cards always seem to have some guys on the 40 man that obviously shouldn’t be there. What about Koperniak? What about Siani? You could add those to the above list.

Re: 40 Man
You forget to get rid of these guys too:
Fernandez
King
Robberse
Hampson
Siani
Re: 40 Man
King and Fernandez have had some success at times at the ML level. Robberse has some upside once he recovers. Hampson is a total waste. Don’t need Siani with Church and Antico in the organization.rockondlouie wrote: ↑22 Jul 2025 08:51 amYou forget to get rid of these guys too:

Better bat to ball
Better plate discipline
Better defense

All I listed (and your list) have to be long gone, no upside.
JMO but I think C. Bloom will clean house and that means all those listed gone.
